On Steam? Immediately
On mobile? It should be out very soon.

All good except not loving the starfish change. I get it though.
Yeah, maybe we should nerf them more....

Read moreYou don't want to give tribes special bonuses like what, exactly?
Like how Cymanti ignores terrain with creep? Or boosts with shaman? Or eats with centipede? Or Poison? Or sneak to ignore enemy zone of control? Or Surprise to prevent retaliatory attacks?
Making a one star adjustment to a road cost is the tamest thing compared to special tribes abilities.
Disclaimer: I'm personally very salty that Yadaak was killed. He is not feasible competetively at all, and I've been devastated for months.
Well, those are Special tribes that play by their own rules.
We don't want gameplay changes like "differences in tech" or "unique units" for the Regular tribes. Yadakk is a Regular tribe, so they won't be getting any sort of road bonus.
We don't want to give the tribes special bonuses like this.
If we're going to balance the Yadakk, we're going to keep it in line with the game's established design.
Thanks! Any news? Just happened again… :(
We are doing some backend maintenance in preparation for a new patch, and that this is probably related.
Would you guys be open to the possibility of having a setting to enable what update you are on for non-multiplayer games?
No, as we don't want to divide the playerbase, honestly.
We don't want to make previous versions accessible, as it'd get confusing/impossible to support.
Nice!
Will there be a second skin pack for previous tribes or are you not sure?
Not sure just yet
I'll take a look
the game is not fun to play anymore against the AI. The spawn are too close and you get punished when inevitably some AI destroys another AI. Honestly of the last ten games I started I haven't finished any of them because I know I won't get three stars.
I usually like to play cymati and half the time my shaman is killed within the first three turns. Within ten turns I get the message that continuing the game is futile because some tribe got destroyed.
Aside from that the game becomes a grind towards the end as the AI keeps spawning shields only just to clog up the play.
I promised myself I wasn't going to do this but I am going to change my rating for the game. It used to be great but now it utterly sucks.
Aside from that I haven't gotten a perfect score since the diplomacy update.
I don't blame people for not updating.
I can tell you that we are looking into some AI adjustments that should be releasing soon.
We can say that we do want the AI to be harder and smarter, though
@ u/Zoythrus any input is appreciated
We don't know right now, honestly.
Also will there be special tribe skins at some point?
Yes
Why is that an option though?
More of an oversight or overall unintended behavior
We're aware of people not updating.
